As I reflect upon the Nurturing Network’s 30 years of life-affirming service, I am reminded of the many friends and volunteers who have helped us to bind the wounds and heal the broken lives of over 25,000 women and children. Countless gifts of time and treasure from TNN’s 52,000 volunteer resource members have formed a legacy of love that is at the very heart of the Nurturing Network.

We have focused our efforts over the past three decades on strengthening and supporting the international network of local service providers that TNN has been instrumental in forming. A tiny mustard seed planted many years ago has now blossomed into a powerful consortium of individuals and programs readily available to meet the needs of women and children.

The success of this collaboration is making it possible for me to embrace a new chapter of my life and TNN’s hope-filled witness. TNN concluded its operation in 2017. This strategic development has empowered me to devote my time, energy and years of experience to many new and vital initiatives.

As TNN’s Founder, I am committed to continuing my personal mission to protect the most vulnerable in society. Having devoted five years to assisting my husband as his Alzheimer’s disease progressed, I am keenly aware of the need for additional charitable resources to be directed to assisting those afflicted with this disease and their caregivers. Your steadfast support for TNN will offer inspiration as I reflect upon the most effective way to dedicate my time and energy to affirming life in all its seasons.

Of all the memories that I will carry with me in the years ahead, the inspiring witness of TNN’s courageous clients and grace-filled members will remain at the top of my list. I will forever celebrate all that generous friends like you have done to bring my dream of the Nurturing Network to this stage of its fulfillment. Each of you are a meaningful part of my extended family.

With deepest gratitude,

Mary
